what has president obama done that's so terrible? what anti-gun laws has president obama passed? precisely none, zero. president obama's actual record on guns as president is that you can now carry guns on amtrak trains and national parks. and that's the guy who did not get the endorsement of the nra. this guy did. >> i don't line up 100% with the nra. >> the nra is not looking to honestly compare the two candidate's records on their one and only issue of gun rights. the nra just wants the republican. that's what they want. that's why they exist. they are a republican-interest group and describe them any other way is to play into their spin. the idea of how to sans their own interests is to get a republican elected to office. whatever you think about them in te terms of its effectiveness, frankly, that stinks for people who really do care about gun policy because they have the worst supposed advocates ever.
